Patient stories from Richards Bay
Our nine-week-old screamed from early evening until midnight. The colic care was gentle enough for a tiny baby, and within two weeks he was settling properly and feeding far more calmly. I got my evenings back.

After my accident on the Empangeni road, I could not turn my head to reverse the car. Dr Khumalo treated the whiplash in measured steps and sorted the clinical notes my insurer needed. I am driving and working without pain again.

Auto-accident patient, Arboretum
Surfing at Alkantstrand left my shoulder grinding on every paddle stroke. The treatment and home plan got me back in the water without that sharp pinch, and now I know how to keep it strong.

Yes when it is delivered by a practitioner trained in paediatric care. Dr Khumalo uses low-force, fingertip-level adjustments, with no twisting or cracking, and always works with the baby relaxed and supported. Many parents notice calmer feeding and settling within a few visits.
